These grilled gyro burgers are such a yummy fusion between grilled hamburgers and gyros! The meat patty is made up of delicious herbs and spices that really work great in a gyro with a pita and all the traditional toppings. They are delicious and make a great weeknight dinner or a great weekend BBQ party food.

The hamburger patty has bread crumbs incorporated into it so it’s tender and juicy and doesn’t distract from the toppings at all.
